Delhi HC Orders Verification of Nitish Katara Murder Convict's Wedding
In 2002, Nitish Katara was murdered.
Vikas Yadav, one of the people convicted of the crime, is currently in jail.
Vikas sought bail, claiming he was getting married on September 5th.
Nitish Katara's mother says this is a lie and that he actually got married in July.
She believes Vikas made up the wedding date to get out of jail temporarily.
She asked the court to punish him for lying.
The Delhi High Court told the police to check when Vikas really got married and report back.
Vikas is already serving a long prison sentence.
The Delhi High Court has ordered Delhi Police to verify Vikas Yadav's wedding date.
This follows a plea from Nitish Katara's mother, alleging Vikas lied to get bail.
Vikas claimed a September 5 wedding, while his mother presented evidence of a July 5 wedding.
The court seeks to determine if Vikas made false statements to the court.
Vikas is a convict in the 2002 Nitish Katara murder case.
